Overseas workers

By Annaliza Aquino

Their sweat reflects their heart and soul
They work hard for the family as much as sevenfold
For a brighter future to achieve their goals
Dreams they uphold, wishing for a pot of gold.

Their tired body remains silent
They have heartaches and sorrows yet still patient
Crying at night is their way to recover before they rest
Tired mind can’t find the answers on how to pass the test
But with torch of responsibilty, they keep showing their best.

Sun burning out their body
But their eyes remain calmly
Working continously waiting for the sunset
Going home full of hope for the new day to set.

Complaining is not their hobby
They have faith to the Lord Almighty
One day, their life will be different
Fulfilled dreams and have their own realm.

Life for them is never an easy journey
They carry too much worry
Heavy burdens, roller coaster rides
But they never surrender, even too many tides.

They are our unsung heroes
They sacrificed a lot on their shoulders
Love them that’s all they want
Show them care and always understand

Living harmoniously in this mysterious space
Live your life to the fullest
Every chapter has a new page to unfold
Enchanted and mysterious, stories that were untold.

Miracles happen to those who believe
Quitting is never an option
Hundreds fall along the way
Difficulties may end, come what may.
To all overseas workers around the globe
You deserve all the best that God has promised!
